Key performance indicators of the 6 R’s
Identify one “key performance indicator” (KPI) for each
of the goals below. A KPI is simple and memorable. It efficiently works for you personally and collectively. It provides useful data for measuring progress. Discuss with classmates ideas of KPIs, and use KPIs to chart class efforts in mitigating (lessening) use of plastic products, living
with resilience (according to Cần Thơ and CRO goals), and addressing pollution on land and in the water.
